This tutorial covers the different shading options in the first official version of V-Ray for Softimage. We explore the V-Ray Material options (diffuse layer, reflection, reflection glossiness, refraction etc.) and create complex materials with the V-Ray Blend Material and the V-Ray Car Paint Material.

In this tutorial Jimmy from Chaos Group talks about one of the most powerful features in V-Ray – its render elements. Learn how to use default render elements and create custom ones, giving you more control in compositing.

If you want to learn from official V-Ray Licensed Instructors approved by Chaos Group,learnvray.com is the largest educational project ever created before today, fully supported by official V-Ray instructors!

Educate is not just making beautiful images, educate is to reveal what are the fundamental concepts behind an image. Only in this way you’ll be able to reproduce the same principle in you own scenes.

The lessons designed in a perfect progression, a first part of 10 lessons is for beginners who start from scratch. From lesson 11 starts the 5SRW method to learn how to apply the most important photographic concepts in V-Ray, using is as it were a real DSRL!

One of the most interesting features introduced in V-Ray 1.5 SP3 was VRayEnvironmentFog (VEF). It might look like a simple fog system, similar to the one in 3ds Max, but it’s really more powerful. In fact it can interact with Global Illumination and generate volume caustic effects.

… I made 3 different materials and applied them to the same glass object. The first one has IOR of 1.5 and the second has IOR or 1.7. They both have Fresnel reflections turned on. Now, the third material has no Fresnel reflections, but I lowered the reflectiveness to 50% (gray color, RGB: 128/128/128). Let’s see how that looks like…

Motion blur is the apparent streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image or a sequence of images such as a movie or animation. It results when the image being recorded changes during the recording of a single frame, either due to rapid movement or long exposure.

The importance of having a photographic approch in your Render!
After the great book on this topic “Photography and Rendering with V-Ray” written by Ciro Sannino, also Lasse Rode wrote an article on this topic.

In this V-Ray Tutorial I want to introduce Vray Fur. I am not going to explain all parameters one by one. it is what you would find in Vray help documents. Here, I try to show abilities of Vray Fur with bringing some examples.

A really nice and useful post from Austris Cingulis on his own blog! have you ever tried to simulate carpet? Yeeeeaahhhh…. if you’re new to this watch these 4 videos to learn ho to do that with V-Ray Displacement, V-Ray Fur, Hair and Fur and Forest pro carpet!

To recap, the Manica Lunga library is a dormitory built in the 15th century by the architect Giovanni Buora then converted by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi. History to make sure some reading during your office hours, stats Site betray you, I offer a small making-of the!
